Participants who first sign up must take a test to determine if they can "pass". (It is likely that all recruits, in fact, pass as part of the ARG.) After the test is completed, the recruit must create and configure an account by entering certain personal information. Once this is done, the new user can then check their own Progress, view the Top 10 Recruits on a Leaderboard, or view their own Profile. Recruitment assessments are said to begin soon.
